What is the best equipment setup for Kensai/Mage Dual class?

[vrd2]

Hi there!

This is my first character and I am a little bit unsure on what equipment to use.

Current setup:
Kensai lvl 8 (18/97 Str, 18 Con, 18 Int, 18 Dex), Grand mastery in Katana, 2 points in 2 weapon mastery. Currently dual-wielding Zerth's blade and Celestial Fury, which I suppose is the best weapon-setup. However, I am unsure on what rings, belts, robe, cape etc to use.

I am currently in Chapter 3 (beginning) and I function both as a magic user (have lvl 6 spells, don't recall my mage level though) and a melee char, since I enjoy the combination.

Thanks for all ideas!

For rings my preference is:
Wear Rig of Gaxx(or Ring of Regeneration) and Ring of Wizardry normally.

These I usually keep spare or worn by other characters:

Keep Ring of Human Influence for merchants/talking (if Charisma < 18)
Ring of Free Action for those quite, unfrozen moments
There are two rings of Fire Resistance (one +40%, one +50%)
Ring of the Ram

Yum!

Please ask if you want SPOILER locations for these rings

Depends
if you got another mage tyhis is what you should get

Robe of apprenti
Dak'kon Zerth sword
Celetial Fury
Ring of Gaxx
Ring of Fire control (comes in handy with sunfire and fireball)
Helm of Vialor (dunno if you can ware that)
Boots of speed
Amulet of protection +2
Cloak of ????

if you are the only mage

Robe of vacna
same weapons
Ring of Gaxx
Ring of Wizardry
same helm
Amulet of power
cloak of protection

Cloak of ????? - my favourite was the Cloak of Mirrors. Reflects energy attacks, Abanazzer's Wilting and Beholder eyebolts (including petrification. Very entertaining)
